As 2023 draws to a close, it’s natural to wrestle with how difficult this year has been for so many. On behalf of everyone here at ASCM, our hearts go out to the people across the world who are living in chaos, whether from war, food or housing insecurity, or environmental disaster and climate change. Yet it’s important to give thanks for many encouraging events that marked 2023, as well. As supply chain professionals, we are especially grateful for global networks getting back on track after several years of disruption and uncertainty. An ongoing focus on resilience, as well as a commitment to digital transformation, are benefitting organizations, governments and communities. A historic COP28 climate summit reinforced the critical importance of prioritizing climate action. And here in the United States, the White House passed numerous laws that underscore supply chain’s vital role in the global economy.
None of this would be possible without professionals like you, who dedicate each day to making an impact through supply chain. Further, by giving your time and knowledge to friends and colleagues, you make the connections we share a true global community. As a thank you, ASCM would like to share key insights and discoveries with you, as well.
